Thanks for that. It looks good and has the heat exchanger which saves fuel on long trips but according to the web site it comes in at 650g. My current setup (titanium billy + the same kovea titanium cooker + the plastic case the cooker comes in) comes to 317g.

Mate!, you are not climbing Everest, get fitter or stronger if .3 of a kilo is tough to deal with!

I'll dig it out and weight it next time I'm in the garage but off the top of my head I think that includes the gas cannister which is stored inside the whole dealy

Jet boil . Can't falt mine . The biggest plus for me is one 100 gram gas lasts 3 days two people on the tops . Considering I don't fly up there weight is everything .

Same system here. All up weight 380g

Looking at some of the setups, I'm not big on doing dishes in the bush so try to keep them to a minimum.
Got a 30yo Primus cooker that screws on a gas can. A pot that just fits a gas can and a tea towel in diameter and tall enough to heat a bag of food. I will heat Pasta meals or Kaweka meals in their bags in the boiling water and eat out of the packet. Use the hot water for 2min noodles, washing spoon or a cuppa.

I have the same set up, but different brands....cant beat the titanium pot/mug for weight!!!!!

Has anyone used firelighters instead of hexamine or is that just stupid?

I might have to investigate these Titanium pots.

Yeah - similar. I just use the one pot and it literally only just fits a gas canister inside. So the whole cooking kit is the size of a gas canister + the titanium kovea and those things are way smaller than Jetboils from what i've seen.

You still pay for this setup - but it's smaller and a bit cheaper. The titanium pot can be expensive...you're still looking at $100-150 for a good pot and the kovea.

Awesome cheers for the help, this looks like a really good setup

Fire lighters do the job enamel cup on some small stones.Will do two cups.

380g sounds more like it. The pic on the web page with the weight on it had a heat exchange in it so maybe they used the wrong pic?

Titanium pot - 95 grams.

Titanium kovea - 88 grams.

Titanium spork - 15 grams.

Gas canister? 110g from what I can find online, but not sure if those are the ones I use.

So 198g + your gas canister. 308g if that one is right. I don't carry any cleaning stuff as all I do is boil water for the meals I take (Backcountry Cuisine, etc). For more people, add more sporks .

For even the lightest Jetboil setup you're looking at 450 grams and a lot more space. Not to mention paying more, but I was more concerned with size/weight.

The plastic spork at the bottom of the page is almost half the weight and 4 dollars verses 27
